Too slow

Too many high handy golfers. There were two old golfers who hits 80yd with any club, waiting for the green to be cleared about 250 yds away. They even played from gold tee the 2nd longest tee. We had to pass one hole. But there was another foursome that everyone hits two balls average. They have a starter but no ranger who can manage the field. You need to pay $10 extra and $20 extra on the weekends if you ride the cart by yourself. But overall the course is well maintained and fun to play.

Don't need to go back

Pace was brutally slow. People giving/receiving lessons during their round. I won't play this course again. Saw two Rangers on the course during the 5.5 hour round, one of them only because the GPS didn't work on 2 different carts during the round, so he kept having to bring us a new cart. Avoid the deli sandwich at the turn - it's literally two slices of soggy bread with a couple slices of lunchmeat, comparable to a prison-issue baloney sandwich. I laughed when I saw it and was told a lot of patrons have dietary restrictions, so they try to "keep it simple."

Luv this track

When I think about courses that I could play everyday, Deerfield is always in my thoughts.

Course is challenging but fair. Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and greens are all extremely well maintained.

Green speeds are consistent throughout the round. However fast #1 is, the next 17 will roll the same.

Really nice practice facility Driving range, 2 pitching/chipping areas and 2 practice putting greens.

Staff is always friendly, beer is always cold and the food is good!

What more can a golfer wish for!

One of the better public courses in the North Shore.

A nice course in good condition. Staff was friendly and I was happy to see they had a ranger to move play along.
